Hackney Colliery Band
Sharpener
On the back of two hugely successful albums and almost constant touring, HCBs new LP 'Sharpener' shows the band on more confident form than ever, with powerful new electronic elements and a dance floor sensibility adding to the jazz, rock and soul for which they are known. Building on the strength of their critically-acclaimed original writing, 'Sharpener' has a powerful set of originals at its core, alongside a trio of leftfield covers in the shape of Nirvanas 'Heart-Shaped Box', Kwabs 'Wrong or Right' and Three Trapped Tigers 'Cramm'. Its a record that resounds with humour, charm and the hum of the glorious variety of musical genres that emanate from their hometown.
